And let them remember that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that God and man may talk together for we speak to Him when we pray we hear Him when we read the divine saying.

More quotes by Ambrose
When in Rome, live in the Roman way.
Ambrose
Nature has poured forth all things for the common use of all men. And God has ordained that all things should be produced that there might be food in common for all, and that the earth should be in the common possession of all. Nature created common rights, but usurpation has transformed them into private rights.
Ambrose
Remember, then, that you received a spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear. Keep safe what you received. God the Father sealed you, Christ the Lord strengthened you and sent the Spirit into your hearts as the pledge of what is to come.
Ambrose
The rich women, to avoid dividing the inheritance among many, kill their own fetus in the womb and with murderous juices extinguish in the genital chamber their children.
Ambrose
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
Ambrose
On consideration.. .of the reason wherefore men have so far gone astray, or that many - alas! - should follow diverse ways of belief concerning the Son of God, the marvel seems to be, not at all that human knowledge has been baffled in dealing with superhuman things, but that it has not submitted to the authority of the Scriptures
Ambrose
When in Rome, live as the Romans do. When elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
Ambrose
May each one of us glorify the Lord with the soul of Mary and rejoice in God with the spirit of Mary
Ambrose
When I go to Rome, I fast on Saturday, but in Milan I do not. Do you also follow the custom of whatever church you attend, if you do not want to give or receive scandal.
Ambrose
Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.)
Ambrose
If you have two shirts in your closet, one belongs to you and the other to the man with no shirt.
Ambrose
It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
It is Peter himself that He says, 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal.
Ambrose
Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.
Ambrose
Redemption, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religions, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.
Ambrose
The devil tempts that he may ruin God tests that he may crown.
Ambrose
The world has been created for everyone's use, but you few rich are trying to keep it up for yourselves. For not merely the possession of the earth, but the very sky, the air, and the sea are claimed for the use of the rich few... The earth belongs to all, not just to the rich.
Ambrose
As a servant desireth the approval of his master, and a son the approval of his father, so should we desire the approval of God and our own conscience.
Ambrose
The body should be bedecked naturally and without affectation, with simplicity, with neglect rather than nicety, not with costly and dazzling apparel, but with ordinary clothes, so that nothing be lacking to honesty and necessity, yet nothing be added to increase its beauty.
Ambrose
